Hey Phil,

What's your email address? I'll send you the pics of the flooding out at Bethells Beach. They are too big too upload on here (need to compress them).

Torrential again here. I'm gonna get up early tomorrow morning and survey the state of the creeks I saw tonight.

flooding up to 1m deep around the Ellerslie underpass and bad on some other roads there.. looks like the edge is approaching here now..
I went up to Warkworth this afternoon for tv3 news and luckily just missed the really heavy rain on the road but had a great downpour while trying to set up! then on the dry side until the Northern motorway returning at about 8:30

Portland road Orakei being closed now with water approaching 1m deep..

Oh well guess I am just too far east here for any heavy rain. Seems its concentrating on central Auckland.

Lol I've gotten to the point where I will believe it when I see it

St Heliers has had 33mm last hr with total 77mm. Penrose 75mm total.

for those with access to high res radar, do you see the hook echo i am seeing at 9:58pm, near great barrier island?

Interesting that the rain stopped in Albany two hrs ago but it is still raining here, a very slow moving line. We have not had the downpours here some other suburbs have had, mostly light to mod rain here.

Yes the heavier stuff is moving south now as its was heavy in town earlier but eased there.

mod to heavy rain since about 11.30 and still going strong

and still cranking. comming down slower than you lot in auckland had though

great early xmas present for the farmers that got the rain
will be good to see the sun this week!

Well after 10.45pm last night, we had very heavy rain sustained for nearly 2 hours here! Biggest downpour for a while. Ended up with 60mm total yesterday (ending midnight) and another 20mm after.
Over 100mm for December here now

Yes, that was the ultimate rain making machine. Maybe December is going to be an excessively wet month like October was.

Morning,

Well its been great reading all those rain rainfall amounts and reports from your area's - also great pic there spwill mind though with all that rain about it would have been great to have seen more pic's.

I'm glad the farmers got the rain too, really need it. I spoke to my son this morning and he said they only got 9mm in Hukerenui over 24hrs - not enough.

I remember most years especially in the 1980s December we always got a week of full on rain early in the month.

Looks unstable here this afternoon, my wxsim forecast is saying "some thunder possible"
I just wish this stupid cloud cover would go......

had some heat showers around here today.. something is stopping the development from growing into anything respectable. but it looks good to see some unstable skies

The upper trough has moved east with temps in the upper layers warming a little. this has made the troposphere more stable.
